Zambezi River level update

Zambezi River level from just above the Victoria Falls (taken from the Victoria Falls Hydrological Station), 7 March 2013 - compare with previous images here.

The figures from the Katima Mulilo Hydrological Station (below), located upstream of the Victoria Falls and the Caprivi Swamps, indicate that whilst for a while the Zambezi was on a record rise for the time of year, the river has started to level off, although the river may still rise in response to rainfall within the huge area of the upper catchment.

About Me

Welcome to Victoria Falls Bits and Blogs, a blog about - wait for it - Victoria Falls Bits and Blogs! Covering both Zambia and Zimbabwe, this blog focuses on issues relating to the Victoria Falls, and more generally on the Zambezi (including Botswana and Namibia) and wider conservation issues relating to all the above.

Mostly I re-post information from other sources, so this blog acts as an information gateway (with links back to source sites) and point of reference, following various topics and themes. Occasionally you'll find personal pieces or comment, but generally speaking I use the blog to record and file information which I find interesting, and which I hope others may find interesting also.
